I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Blackwell where we see a number of leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Blackwell conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

I purchased a split level flat in Blackwell, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Blackwell with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2084

With 60 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Why can't I complete my conveyancing in Blackwell on Easter Monday?

Because on completion the money needs to pass between the banks of the buyer and owner’s conveyancer and currently this can only occur on a working day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
